KingBoots8 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 He did well in camp- I could definitely see his name called up a few times. Hope he makes the best of his opportunities and can be productive. Glad to see he stayed with us 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isabella and/or the other PS WR could be getting called up early to fill in for Shorter for the next 4 or 5 games. With all the new PS rules these guys importance has risen. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmart128 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 With Shorter injured I could see Isabella getting a lot of call ups early in the season. Probably a big reason he wanted to stay in Buffalo to showcase himself early in season in hopes someone signs him to their 53. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Water Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 5 minutes ago, MAJBobby said: Other offers to me means other offers for PS. Other offers for the 53 NO player would pass that up for PS. Well, players have in the past. Back when the Bills were a bad team, it happened actually that we would try to sign players off another team's PS and they would say "no thanks, I'm Good". The other reason is if a guy is offered to the 53 as strictly an injury replacement, and the team will cut him in 4 weeks when the injured player returns. Isabella, as a 2nd round pick, made some $ his first 3 years in the league and if he was prudent with it, can afford to "bet on himself" and try to refresh his career, by staying where he thinks he's got the best chance of that even if it means less $$. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong -- I like Andy Isabella and I predicted and hoped the Bills would add him to the practice squad. But if you follow Bills football, you can't help but notice there's an "Andy Isabella" every year. Drew Hadaad, Martin Nance, Da'Rick Rodgers, Namaan Roosevelt...the list goes on and on. Find someone that loves you the way Bills fans love bottom-of-the-roster preseason darling WRs. Edited August 30, 2023 by Logic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that there's always an unknown WR or 2 that flashes in the preseason that gets the fans on this board excited, then they're never heard from again. It happens on other teams too. I don't know why, but I suspect that it's just easy to get open against 3rd and 4th string DB in preseason games and make a lot of catches, but not so easy against 1st and 2s. That said, this situation is slightly different. Isabella was a high draft pick, has played in the league for a few years, and has exceptional speed. Most of the preseason darling WRs are unknown UDFAs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(only joking) I get that you’re only kidding. He’d definitely would have to work his way up to shift leader. You don’t just do that job on day one. Look, the practice squad is the practice squad and I have no ill will against Isabella or anyone else on it. With that said, I’m not looking forward to a season worth of posts about how we are mismanaging the WR room and how we need to get this ham and egger into the lineup. It’s going to be unrelenting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoBills Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I wonder who Isabella's WR partner will be. KeeSean Johnson? Marcell Ateman? It's a pretty good PS duo whoever makes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome007 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 As others have mentioned, with the new PS rules and Shorter injuries, he could play to begin the season, and showcase himself at the very least.

Betting on himself would be taking an offer that puts him on the 53, and get the guaranteed Base come the start of the season. The reality is just that the other offers were likely other PS offers, he did not turn a 53 man roster offer down after sitting as a unsigned street FA until August Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoBills Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Every year the comments about the PS guys gets more extreme. From "diamond in the rough" to "burger flippers". These guys play a role and get paid pretty well to do it. Isabella is making $290k at a minimum. That's a lot of burgers but Diggs doesn't need to worry about his roster spot!
